3. Approximately 30% to 40% of children and adolescents are bullied or bully others in their school years.

Weight control, although it may have some self-esteem repercussions, is not a mental health intervention for a significant population. Drug abuse prevention is an important mental health intervention, but it would not affect the most students, as approximately 8% of the adolescent population estimated to use illicit drugs. Effective studying is an academic, not a nursing, intervention.
